RAILROADS AT OUTS.
Two Competing Companies Fighting
For the Field,

Mr. c. V. Grant, of the firm of Carpen-
ter, Grant, Mundy & Co., returned to the
city yesterday after spending several days
on the line of the Savannah, Dublin and
Western Short Line, which the firm of
which he is a member is building. He states
that they have now more than 600 men at
work on the road, and the number
is being daily increased. The
foremen have orders to employ all the
hands they can get, and Mr. Grant says that
he thinks that within two weeks there Will
be force of 1000 men on the work. The
past few days of open weather have ena-
bled them To push the work more rapidly
than they expected, and they are now conf
dent that they will complete the road at an
earlier date than they had fixed. In a
short time the engineers, he says,
will locate the line from the Ogee-
chez into Savannah, and then the
road will be speedily constructed for the
conveying of freights for the Birmingham
and Atlantic Air Line, Of which the road
forms an integral part.
The company which has been fighting the
Birmingham and Atlantic throughout al
most the entire length of its line seems now
to be making preparations for determined
stand. This company, which is known as the
Savannah, Macon, LAGRANGE and Birming-
iihilif lao a CiIcii LOI lOIi AOih Ch
mingham to the Georgia State line and
another from the State line to Macon, and
on Friday bill asking for charter from
Macon to Savannah was introduced into
the Legislature. Yesterday Mr.. Wallace,
the President, met number of prominent
business men of this city and a long
conference over matters preliminary to the
beginning of active operations in the way OF
construction was held. For some time past
this company has been canvassing the same
towns throughout Alabama and Georgia,
that the Birmingham and Atlantic has
approached for popular subscriptions
and great deal Of feeling has been the re-
suit. Numerous efforts have been made to
reconcile the hostile forces but they have
been unavailing, and now it seems that
they are to fight for the territory that Of
fers so great opportunities to the one who
will really make an investment of
energy and capital to build
the road. The Birmingham and
Atlantic people say that they are paying no
attention to their opponents that they are
building their road and have no time to take
from that to carry on fight. The opposi-
ton likewise are busily engaged, having
agents thoroughly canvasSing the route to
learn what inducements the various towns
will offer to their line.
They are also taking other preliminary
steps toward pushing forward the enter
prise 1t is said that the officers of the Sa-
vannah and Western, of which Hon. Peter
Meldrim is president, We're present at the
Wallace meeting yesterday This would
seem to indicate a movement to make the
Savannah and Western the Savannah end
of the line to Birmingham, of which Mr.
Wallace is president 1t was impossible to
learn what occurred at the Wallace meet
ing yesterday, but it is rumored that the
conference had some reference to the legis-
lation it may be necessary to ask for.

A NEST OF BATTERIES.

The sand hills on that memorable occasion
were a nest of batteries from the Martelle
Tower 10 Lazaretto creek The Confeder-
ateS occupied Tybee early iii 1851, but evac-
uated it in the latter part of that year after
the capture of Port Royal. 1t was almost
Immediately occupied by the Union forces,
and the sequel was the capture of Pulaski:
Uncie Sam, however, doesn't propose to let
a foreign enemy do what he did in 1881, snd
has purchased twenty acres of ground near
the lighthouse, on which it is hoped that
some day the surplus in the Treasury" will
be reduced by erecting fort for the protec-
ton of the port
Rev. John Wesley, when he arrived in
the Savannah river, went ashore on Tybee
and offered up thanks for the safe passage
of himself and his fellow immigrants
When Tybee is illustrated picture of this
scene, similar to the engraving on the back
of the SIS national bank bills, will doubtless
be used as frontispiece.
ANCIENT oRTHoGRAPHY.
The old style Of spelling Tybee was Tiby,
and Cherokee was written Cheriky, but as
the colonists became better versed i'll or
typography, as taught by Mrs. Tomochichi,
of tho Yamacraw Indian Seminary, it was
changed. During the revolution, that of
ZIG, not 1861, Tybee was not summer re-
sort, but it was, nevertheless, a very
lively place When the British troops
occupied Savannah, tho island had a large
population Of Tories, who would in latter
days be called ''Scalawags" One night a
body of Americans landed on the island
and burned their houses, and put those who
did not take to the woods to the sword.
There were probably no more Tories on
Tybee after that until it was, by agree
ment between the British and
American commanders on the evac-
uation of Savannah by the former
made the debarking point of loyalists
who were afraid TO face the successful pa
triots and their former friends.
JUST ACROSS THE WATER.
Leaving Lazaretto creek, the batteries,
and the tories, and all other ancient history,
the road follows the track of the iron horse
and is soon on the sea beach, the site of
Ocean City. The railroad ends here, and
those who wish to go farther will have
to take a ship. Just across the water, OPP
posite the Ocean House, are the Coates of
Hercules" and through them is the way to
the Orient, the land of the Turk,
which lies directly east of Tybee,
distance of some 1000 to 5000
miles. 1t is not proposed, however. to start
a ferry to connect with that distant land,
but it is pleasure to know that the sunny
Mediterranean and the classic Adriatic are
beyond the horizon and that the people liv-
ing along their shores are hard at work
while you are asleep famed by the breezes
at Tybee.
From this simple data, which is not copy
righted, there is the basis for a large and in
teresting book, and it is to be hoped that
some lover of forgotten lore" will utilize it
to advertise TYbee.

SUICIDE OR MURDER.
A Body Found at the Hermitage-Was
1t Jacob Godhart?

Body Found at the Hermitage
1t Jacob Godhart?
Coroner Dixon was summoned out to the
Hermitage at o'clock last evening by the
report of a stranger having shot himself
there. Upon repairing to the scene he
found the dead body of an old man lying
near the river bank. Close by were two
trees standing together, between which
board had been placed, making a bench
or seat On this bench Law a linen
coat, a light straw hat and an umbrella. I'm
derneath was revolver. a No. , Hopkins
& Allen blue Jacket" with only one
barrel loaded. The other two had been dis
charged. In the tree was fonnd one bullet.
The body was picked up and examined. The
fatal shot had struck MIN in the right breast
just below the nipple, presumably causing
instant death. He was probably sitting on
the bench and after firing the shot, had
fallen forward on his face. The wound bled
great deal and his features were so clotted
up and disfgured that it was impossible to
identify him.
He was an old man (white) with club
foot, had gray beard, and was bald. His
pants were of dark, striped cloth, and some
what worn; the shirt a dark, striped cotton
one, with a belt at the waist
Capt. J. w. McAlpin and others then
testified to hearing two shots fired at about
O'Clock. An investigation revealed the
body lying as above described. Capt Nc
Alpin thinks the body was that of Jacob God
hart, who had worked for him year
or two before, but he was not certain.
Nothing was found in the pocke is of the
corpse save a red cotton handkerchief, a
cigar and newspaper.
Coroner Dixon will keep the remains at
the morgue in Laurel Grove Cemetery un-
til this afternoon for the purpose of denti-
fication. If anyone knows of any such per
son who is missing they will confer favor
by giving the facts to the MORNING News
or to Capt. Dixon.

A VERY HEALTHY CITY.
A Favorable Showing Made by the
Mortuary Report.


The mortuary report for the week ending
Friday last gives a total of twenty
deaths, one of which was murder. The
others were deaths from natural causes,
fourteen diseases figuring in the report.
The number of deaths among the whites
was ten, while among the negroes it was
twelve. The proportion among the whites
in the annual ratio per 1000 population for
the week was 1853 and among the blacks and
colored 30. The greatest number Of deaths
seemed to be among the infants,
seven of those who died being
under year of age. One was between the
ages of 5 and 10 years and the other deaths
were all of persons more than 30, one being
between so and 90 The death roll shows
but one demise from fever, and thus the
health barometer shows Savannah to be in
an exceedingly healthy condition, for when
the cases of fever are few the conditions are
so healthful that other diseases are not likely
to do much harm. This healthfulness speaks
well for the city in many respects, and
shows that the extraordinary precautions
taken by the health officers during the pres
emit summer have not been without good
fruitS

Quotations High, Demand Light and
the Supply is Inexhaustible.
Georgia had the distinguished honor, &C
cording to the signal service reports, of hav-
ing the highest temperature of any State in
the Union during the past week. Friday
was the hottest day of the season, for
Georgia, Smithville being the hottest town
of all The Thermometer there reached
1867. Not content with giving the above
pointers, the signal boss next said that
the average temperature for the year is
413.9' defcient2 Ii the full measure
had been heaped up and running over
what would have been the results Another
very funny joke the signal man gets off is
that, notwithstanding the red-hotness of
Friday in Savannah, this city has enjoyed
the lowest temperature of any city in the
State. The most remarkable thing about
the past weeks weather is that it has been
very. uniform, the average tenn
heat was felt less on this account.
Four stations in the cotton regions reported
over 1907 yesterday, JesIip being the proud
but perspiring victor at 1922. Jesup was
the only place in the cotton region, also,
that reported any rainfall
Yesterday afternoon the temperature
dropped in Savannah from 95.3', the high
est, to So, a change greatly appreciated.
Wilmington reported 1907, and the Augusta
cotton region 1922 The rainfall for this
month is above the average, but the total
for the year, from Jan. /, 'S7, is deficient
.925, or nearly an inch. The temperature
in the Northwest is falling, which is an indi-
cation of cooler weather here. The observer
was in pretty good spirits last night and he
promised cool weather for next week. As
the Weather Bureau has been kicking up
such didoes lately, very naturally they feel
like making peace-offering in the shape of
a lower temperature, which will be accepted
